Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 161

He didn't care about all that. He wasn’t one to dwell on the past. But the thought that Lucas was the first to experience her beauty? That ate at him. No, it didn’t just eat at him; it drove him insane with jealousy. He even wanted to tear Lucas apart to vent his rage.

Connor sat in the car for a long time. Eventually, he managed to calm himself down. It was painfully obvious what Linda was trying to pull. If he let himself get riled up, he’d be just as foolish as Lucas.

Meanwhile, at the TV station, Chloe got a new assignment. During the morning news meeting, Tony said, "Chloe, the Paradise Resort project officially kicks off tomorrow. There's a groundbreaking ceremony, and we've set up an interview with the project director. Get ready for it."

Chloe knew that Leading Heights had scored the contract. She wasn’t aware that Lucas would be running the show as the project director. Given his limited experience of managing major projects, it seemed more likely that a VP or Antonio would be in charge. Regardless, it was fantastic news for the Moncada family. She agreed without hesitation.

"We'll be covering the Paradise Resort project extensively, creating a long-term special series. You'll be heading this series and can pick your own team. Everyone at the station will cooperate with you."

Chloe nodded, "Alright, I'll give it my all."

By 7:30 PM, Chloe had wrapped up her news broadcast and was leaving work. As she stepped out of the TV station, she spotted a familiar car parked at the entrance. Chloe smiled and walked over, hopping into the passenger seat.

"What brings you here to pick me up today?" she asked.

Connor’s expression was serious, not playful. "I missed you."
